Braces & Tapes
Ankle Braces
Due to high demand and the variety of foot and ankle shapes, we have sourced several ankle brace brands to accommodate the diverse needs and foot shapes of most athletes.
Mueller & DonJoy
Our most popular ankle braces are of exceptional quality. Suitable for (R) and (L) ankle injuries. These are available in fast lace and normal lace styles.
Available sizes are: XSml, Sml, Med, Lge, XL
AirCast/Airsport
Made by the internationally recognised company Aircast, these are L) and R) specific, with air-filled padding under a hard polypropylene shell, making them ideal for athletes who have sustained an avulsion fracture associated with a ligament injury. Fastening is with Velcro straps.
Used for either L) or R) ankles.
Available sizes are: XSml, Sml, Med, Lge.
Ossur
Scandinavian design and ingenuity offer an excellent third option for ankle braces. We find that clients are increasingly choosing one of Ossur's ankle braces, which are strong, lightweight, and well-priced.

Tapes
In addition to using tape for symptom management and joint support, Esperance Physiotherapy supplies a wide range of rigid, elastic, underwrap, mouth breathing and K-Tape to individuals and sporting teams. These are available with a low-allergy option.
Rigid Sports Tapes - Premium Quality
A flesh-coloured, pinkered edges, tearable tape using a zinc oxide adhesive. This rigid tape is best utilised as a strapping tape to resist excessive joint movement. An alternative adhesive is available for those sensitive to zinc oxide.
Available sizes are 13, 25, 38, and 50mm.
Underwrap
Leukowrap is a foam underwrap used to avoid the pain of removing zinc oxide adhesive bandages and tapes applied directly to the skin.
It protects the skin from irritation due to repeated applications of adhesive-coated tapes and bandages.
Standard size only.
Elastic Sports Tape
These stretchy, flesh-coloured tapes are used with rigid tape to provide compression in areas that require a high degree of expansion (e.g., muscles) or after injury (swelling).
Available sizes are 25, 38, 50, and 75mm.
Adhesive Fabric
White in colour, these low-allergy, extensible dressings are used as an undertape and for protection against grass burns, grazes, and skin burns.
